Re: Splitting a paragraph into sentences and keep mark

Hi David,

Yes, there shouldn't be any cross-paragraph elements.

can we assume the easy case (as in your example) where all the sentences end
at the top level?

a more challenging example is

<root>
    <p>This has one <span class="zzz">sentence? Actually, it has
<emphasis>two</emphasis>.  No,</span> it has three.</p> </root>

as then you need to force-close any open elements at the sentence end and
re-open them in the new sentence so something like

  <p>This has one <span class="zzz">sentence?</span></p>
  <p><span class="zzz">Actually, it has <emphasis>two</emphasis>.</span></p>
 <p><span class="zzz">No,</span> it has three.</p>

because I want to account for a sentence ending with a . or ?. This will work
except if there are any children of the paragaph, like the <emphasis> in the
second sentence. Can I split a paragraph into sentences and still keep the
markup?
